SUMMARY:FAH-DPORT: Seminars by Professor Mariarosaria Francesca Gianninoto\, Full Professor of Chinese Linguistics\, University Paul-Valéry-Montpellier (France)
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \nWe are most pleased to invite all to attend the following Seminars by Professor Mariarosaria Francesca Gianninoto\, Full Professor of Chinese Linguistics\, University Paul-Valéry-Montpellier (France) on Tuesday and Thursday\, 12 & 14/05/2026\, as follows: \n  \nBIO \nProfessor Mariarosaria Francesca Gianninoto \nFull Professor of Chinese Linguistics \nUniversity Paul-Valéry-Montpellier (France) \nMariarosaria Gianninoto is a Professor of Chinese Linguistics at Montpellier University Paul Valéry (Montpellier\, France)\, where she also serves as Head of the Department of Chinese Studies. She studies linguistic tools (grammars and bilingual dictionaries) typically written by Westerners in China for learning Chinese from a Western perspective. In recent years\, she has explored three main aspects of this Chinese-Western encounter: lexicology\, linguistic historiography\, and language teaching.  \n  \nABSTRACTS \nAt the Crossroads of Lexicographic Traditions: Western Manuscript Dictionaries of Chinese \nTuesday (12/05/2026)\, 10:00am ~ 12:30pm\, E21a-G047 \n\nChina has a long and rich lexicographic tradition (Bottéro 2019) that has played a major role in the global history of lexicography (Considine 2019). From the late sixteenth century onward\, Chinese and its varieties also became target or source languages for dictionaries compiled in European languages. These Western dictionaries of Chinese emerged from sustained interactions between Western and Chinese lexicographic traditions (Yang 2023)\, an encounter that gave rise to “new lexicographic practices” (Klöter 2019) at both the macrostructural and microstructural levels. As a result\, these works occupy a significant place in the history of lexicography\, and their entries constitute invaluable sources for the study of historical phonology\, lexicology\, and grammatology. \nTo explore the contribution of Western manuscript dictionaries to the history of Chinese linguistics and their role in the broader study of cultural exchange\, the ChEDiL research program (funded by the French National Research Agency) brings together more than twenty scholars specializing in Chinese cultural history\, the history of linguistics\, the history of knowledge\, and digital humanities. The project examines a shared corpus of manuscript dictionaries from complementary perspectives. Key objectives include digitizing manuscripts and creating an open-access database of transcribed dictionaries\, enabling systematic comparison of numerous works and entries to trace the Western and Chinese sources that influenced their development. \nThis communication aims to examine Western and Chinese dictionaries from the perspectives of historical lexicography\, lexicology\, phonology\, and textual genetics. \n\nDescribing Chinese Languages based on an extended Latin grammar model during the Qing Period: The Manchu Case \nThursday (14/05/2026)\, 3:00pm ~ 5:00pm\, E21a-3118 \n\nContact between European countries and China during the Qing period sparked interest in the languages spoken across the empire\, leading to the publication of numerous Western works on Chinese and Manchu. To describe these languages\, most works initially relied on Western linguistic categories and terminology\, adopting a form of “extended Latin grammar” (Auroux 1992). Over time\, however\, some Western authors gradually incorporated elements from the Chinese linguistic tradition and drew on Chinese-Manchu bilingual primers —a significant corpus produced to meet the linguistic needs of a multilingual empire (Takekoshi 2014\, 2015; Söderblom Saarela 2020\, Li 2021). These works\, in turn\, adapted the methodologies and categories of Chinese philology to the description of Manchu—a language typologically very different from Sinitic languages—thereby requiring various modifications to descriptive categories originally developed for Chinese grammar (Takekoshi 2014\, 2019). They can thus be understood as further instances of an “extended grammar” (Aussant 2017)\, or more precisely\, as a form of “extended Chinese grammar” (Gianninoto 2023). In this light\, the bilingual Manchu manuals provide compelling examples of the circulation of linguistic knowledge and the creative blending of descriptive categories. \n\nIN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
